1 Samuel 16

1 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Until when are you mourning for Saul, and I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go, I send you to Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, for I have seen among his sons a king for Myself.”

Olúwa sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Yóò ha ti pẹ́ tó tí ìwọ yóò máa dárò Saulu, nígbà tí ó jẹ́ pé mo ti kọ̀ ọ́ ní ọba lórí Israẹli? Rọ òróró kún inú ìwo rẹ, kí o sì mú ọ̀nà rẹ pọ̀n, Èmi rán ọ sí Jese ará Bẹtilẹhẹmu. Èmi ti yan ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ láti jẹ ọba.”

2 And Samuel says, “How do I go? When Saul has heard, then he has slain me.” And YHWH says, “You take a heifer of the herd in your hand, and have said, I have come to sacrifice to YHWH;

Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí pé, “Báwo ni èmi yóò ṣe lọ? Bí Saulu bá gbọ́ nípa rẹ̀, yóò pa mi.” Olúwa wí pé, “Mú abo ẹgbọrọ màlúù kan pẹ̀lú rẹ, kí o sì wí pé, ‘Èmi wá láti wá rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa.’

3 and you have called for Jesse in the sacrifice, and I cause you to know that which you do, and you have anointed for Me him of whom I speak to you.”

Pe Jese wá sí ibi ìrúbọ náà, Èmi yóò sì fi ohun tí ìwọ yóò ṣe hàn ọ́. Ìwọ yóò fi òróró yàn fún mi, ẹni tí èmi bá fihàn ọ́.”

4 And Samuel does that which YHWH has spoken, and comes to Beth-Lehem, and [the] elderly of the city tremble to meet him, and [one] says, “Is your coming peace?”

Samuẹli ṣe ohun tí Olúwa sọ. Nígbà tí ó dé Bẹtilẹhẹmu, àyà gbogbo àgbàgbà ìlú já, nígbà tí wọ́n pàdé rẹ̀. Wọ́n béèrè pé, “Ṣé àlàáfíà ní ìwọ bá wá?”

5 And he says, “Peace; I have come to sacrifice to YHWH, sanctify yourselves, and you have come in with me to the sacrifice”; and he sanctifies Jesse and his sons, and calls them to the sacrifice.

Samuẹli sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àlàáfíà ni; mo wá láti wá rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa. Ẹ ya ara yín sí mímọ́, kí ẹ sì wá rú ẹbọ pẹ̀lú mi.” Nígbà náà ni ó sì ya Jese sí mímọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, ó sì pè wọ́n wá sí ibi ìrúbọ náà.

6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, that he sees Eliab and says, “Surely His anointed [is] here before YHWH.”

Nígbà tí wọ́n dé, Samuẹli rí Eliabu, ó rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé lóòótọ́ ẹni òróró Olúwa dúró níbí níwájú Olúwa.

7 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance, and at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him; for [it is] not as man sees—for man looks at the eyes, and YHWH looks at the heart.”

Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Má ṣe wo ti ìrísí rẹ̀ tàbí ti gíga rẹ̀, nítorí èmi ti kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀. Olúwa kì í wo ohun tí ènìyàn máa ń wò. Ènìyàn máa ń wo òde ara ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa máa ń wo ọkàn.”

8 And Jesse calls to Abinadab, and causes him to pass by before Samuel; and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”

Nígbà náà ni Jese pe Abinadabu, ó sì jẹ́ kí ó rìn kọjá ní iwájú Samuẹli. Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí pé, “Olúwa kò yan ẹni yìí.”

9 And Jesse causes Shammah to pass by, and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”

Jese sì jẹ́ kí Ṣamma rìn kọjá ní iwájú Samuẹli, ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí pé, “Olúwa kò yan ẹni yìí náà.”

10 And Jesse causes seven of his sons to pass by before Samuel, and Samuel says to Jesse, “YHWH has not fixed on these.”

Jese jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ méje rìn kọjá ní iwájú Samuẹli ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli sọ fún un pé, “Olúwa kò yan àwọn wọ̀nyí.”

11 And Samuel says to Jesse, “Are the young men finished?” And he says, “Yet the youngest has been left; and behold, he delights himself among the flock”; and Samuel says to Jesse, “Send and take him, for we do not turn around until his coming in here.”

Nígbà náà ni ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ Jese pé, “Ṣé èyí ni gbogbo àwọn ọmọ rẹ?” Jese dáhùn pé, “Ó ku àbíkẹ́yìn wọn, ó ń tọ́jú agbo àgùntàn.” Samuẹli sì wí pé, “Rán ìránṣẹ́ lọ pè é wá; àwa kò ní jókòó títí òun yóò fi dé.”

12 And he sends, and brings him in, and he [is] ruddy, with beautiful eyes, and of good appearance; and YHWH says, “Rise, anoint him, for this [is] he.”

Ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí i, wọ́n sì mú un wọlé wá, ó jẹ́ ẹni tó mọ́ra, àwọ̀ ara rẹ̀ dùn ún wò, ó jẹ́ arẹwà gidigidi. Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí pé, “Dìde kí o sì fi òróró yàn án, òun ni ẹni náà.”

13 And Samuel takes the horn of oil, and anoints him in the midst of his brothers, and the Spirit of YHWH prospers over David from that day and onward; and Samuel rises and goes to Ramath.

Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli mú ìwo òróró, ó sì ta á sí i ní orí ní iwájú àwọn ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀, láti ọjọ́ náà lọ, Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ Olúwa wá sí orí Dafidi nínú agbára. Samuẹli sì lọ sí Rama.

14 And the Spirit of YHWH turned aside from Saul, and a spirit of sadness from YHWH terrified him;

Nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀mí Olúwa ti kúrò lára Saulu, ẹ̀mí búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa sì ń yọ ọ́ lẹ́nu.

15 and the servants of Saul say to him, “Now behold, a spirit of sadness [from] God is terrifying you;

Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Saulu sì wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, ẹ̀mí búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá ń yọ ọ́ lẹ́nu.

16 now let our lord command your servants before you [that] they seek a skillful man playing on a harp, and it has come to pass, in the spirit of sadness [from] God being on you, that he has played with his hand and [it is] well with you.”

Jẹ́ kí olúwa wa pàṣẹ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ó wà níhìn-ín láti wa ẹnìkan tí ó lè fi dùùrù kọrin. Yóò sì ṣe é nígbà tí ẹ̀mí búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run bá bà lé ọ, ìwọ yóò sì sàn.”

17 And Saul says to his servants, “Now provide for me a man playing well—then you have brought [him] to me.”

Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ wá ẹnìkan tí ó lè kọrin dáradára kí ẹ sì mú u wá fún mi.”

18 And one of the servants answers and says, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, skillful in playing, and a mighty, virtuous man, and a man of battle, and intelligent in word, and a man of form, and YHWH [is] with him.”

Ọ̀kan nínú ìránṣẹ́ náà dáhùn pé, “Èmi ti ri ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Jese ti Bẹtilẹhẹmu tí ó mọ orin kọ, ó jẹ́ alágbára àti ológun. Ó ní ọgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ òun sì dára ní wíwò. Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú u rẹ̀.”

19 And Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send to me your son David, who [is] with the flock.”

Saulu sì rán oníṣẹ́ sí Jese wí pé, “Rán Dafidi ọmọ rẹ sí mi, ẹni tí ó ń ṣọ́ àgùntàn.”

20 And Jesse takes a donkey, bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sends [them] by the hand of his son David to Saul.

Jese sì mú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ti a di ẹrù lé àti ìgò ọtí wáìnì àti ọmọ ewúrẹ́; ó sì rán wọn nípa ọwọ́ Dafidi ọmọ rẹ̀ sí Saulu.

21 And David comes to Saul, and stands before him, and he loves him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons.

Dafidi sì tọ Saulu lọ, ó sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀, òun sì fẹ́ ẹ gidigidi, Dafidi sì wá di ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ń ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀.

22 And Saul sends to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.”

Nígbà náà ni Saulu ránṣẹ́ sí Jese pé, “Jẹ́ kí Dafidi dúró níwájú mi, nítorí tí ó wù mí.”

23 And it has come to pass, in the spirit of [sadness from] God being on Saul, that David has taken the harp, and played with his hand, and Saul has refreshment and gladness, and the spirit of sadness has turned aside from off him.

Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ẹ̀mí búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá bá dé sí Saulu, Dafidi a sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kọrin lára dùùrù: a sì san fún Saulu, ara rẹ̀ a sì dá; ẹ̀mí búburú náà a sì fi sílẹ̀.
